BJ’s Wholesale Club has announced a $25m award for over 30,000 hourly employees working at the wholesaler.
The funds will be allocated based on the staff member’s tenure, which aims to reflect the company’s investment in its workforce.
The business marked the major occasion with celebrations at clubs and distribution centers across its footprint this morning.
The company currently operates 268 clubs and 209 gas stations across 22 states and has been running since 1984.
BJ’s Wholesale Club offers a range of products, including fresh food and produce, a full-service deli and bakery, household essentials, and seasonal decorations.
BJ’s team members received gift cards ranging from $250 to $2,000 across its estate.
Bob Eddy, chairman and CEO at BJ’s Wholesale Club: “BJ’s Wholesale Club is driven by a powerful purpose: we take care of the families who depend on us.
“We’re living that purpose by taking care of our team members across our clubs and distribution centers.
“Our team members are essential to delivering unbeatable value and service every day. They are the foundation of our success, and these awards are a way to thank them for their commitment to our company and our members.”
This move shows the retailer’s commitment to improving its staff benefits across its wider estate.
